ALT Asking for help does not come easily to Dr. Farhad Ravandi. But today, he is asking. He is one of about 90,000 people who is on the national waiting list for a kidney. Unfortunately, only about 20,000 deceased donor transplants are performed each year, leaving a critical unmet need. Farhad is truly astonished by the generosity of those who even consider living donation, calling it one of the most selfless acts a person can make. Every living kidney donation not only transforms the life of the recipient but helps others on the transplant kidney list by making a deceased organ available to another patient. After nearly 40 years as a physician and decades focused on advancing leukemia care, his hope is simple. To continue helping others, and to be here for his family. If you are reading this, please help us share his story. You never know the impact you could have.
